Streamline your social network activity
With so much activity constantly bombarding you on your social networks it can be difficult to stay focused and on top of all the action. In a recent post, Steve Rubel profiles NutshellMail, a new tool that helps to address this problem:
NutshellMail is a really slick service that brings Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and MySpace updates right to your email box. Once you authorize the service to connect it will scan your accounts and deliver updates as often as hourly. I have set up my account to poll every few hours and scoop up news. I have set up a filter in Gmail so that these get shuttled to a special label, which I can review on any device and even respond back all via email as well.
The integration of email and social networks is advancing at a rapid pace, with examples such as Microsoft Outlooks recent integration of LinkedIn. This is just one tool that can help you stay on top of your social network activity and minimize distractions. Read more on Steve Rubel’s blog.
NutShellMail has great potential, but also many problems with implementation. It misses many tweets and has limits on how many you can receive during any specific time period.
